Fiddle dee dee! ‘Tis only a few days until the greenest of celebrations: St. Patrick’s Day! Team O’Fergmeijer has a friend coming up from Boston for the occasion. He’s totally the life of the patty. He’s more of a clover than a fighter, and always has the best advice. Our favourite is: in the pursuit of hoppiness, you can’t give in to beer pressure. It will only lead to making pour decisions and you don’t want to reach the pint of no return.
With the ice breaking up on the North O’Channel already, we’re sad to announce that the Kagawong outdoor rink is now closed for the season. Thanks to Andy O’Preyde for heading up a team of volunteers to keep the rink open as much as possible this winter. Please stay off the surface until the ice and slush is removed.
There is a special Townhall meeting coming up on Tuesday, March 19th from 2-4pm at the Park Centre to present the final draft of the township’s Five Year O’Strategic Plan. The discussion will be led by Capital O’Park, and there will be an opportunity for community members to ask questions and provide feedback.
Why cook when you don’t need to? Come on out for the Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser at the Kagawong Park Centre on Saturday, March 23rd from 5pm to 7pm. Tickets are $20 at the door, with kids under 11 only $12, with all proceeds going to the O’Jabbawong Storytelling Festival this summer. Take-out is available. For more information contact Diane O’Laroque at (705) 919-1751.
Mark your calendars! The Easter O’Bunny is hopping back into Kagawong on Saturday, March 30th for the annual Easter egg hunt! Youth of all ages are welcome to come by the Kagawong Park O’Centre at 11am that day and fill their baskets with goodies. Who will find the Golden O’Ticket? You’ll have to come out to see! Thanks to the Billings Parks, Recreation and O’Wellness Committee for hosting this event.
The Billings Climate O’Action Committee is planning on hosting an Earth Day event on Saturday, April 20th! The event should include community clean-up, a “junk in the trunk” sale, activities for youth, and information on green technologies. The committee is currently looking for vendors interested in presenting green solutions with either a booth or in a discussion panel. Contact Vince O’Grogan at vgrogan@billingstwp.ca for more information.
Happy 29th birthday to Kim O’N and Mike O’M who are both celebrating their big days this week. You guys don’t look a day over 29! (Of course, the O’ptometrist recently told us we need a stronger prescription, but we stand by our statement.)
Town council approved a new Municipal Owned Water System O’Ad-Hoc Committee. The town will be issuing a call for members on their website soon (billingstwp.ca).
There have been sightings of geese so far, but no reports of seeing O’Sandhill Cranes or of hearing their melodious coo. Will YOU be the first to hear the majestic coo of the cranes? Keep your ear to the ground and your eyes on the sky (also on the fields) and be sure to send in the date and time of your sighting/sounding to fergmeijer@gmail.com to participate in our annual Sandhill Crane challenge!
Some timely advice: Never iron a four-leaf clover. You don’t want to press your luck. Have a great week!
